I'm afraid that BT Keyboards are not currently / officially supported with the N900. I know what you are going to say, 'why not'?

Well it hasn't been deemed essential by Nokia as yet but some guys have managed to get some success although not always 100% of the time.

We are trying to do something about it by registering our support for what we see as a bug. You can read more about it here:

Please register and vote with the instructions that Oli has provided as well. The more people request this then the more chance that something will be done about it.

The Apple wireless keyboard works well for me and I use it on Windows. I haven't tried it on the N900 and only paired it with the PS3 once IIRC.

I'm interested in hearing about a nice foldable Bluetooth keyboard working with the N900 too, seemed like the Stowaways are all out of production and can go for a fair bit on eBay?

Took this picture a few days after getting the N900. They were long and excruciating, lots of hair pulling trying, and then...

Took this picture today. I sold the E90 because it made little to no economic sense to keep it. While sitting at my desk and checking this community for the latest news on getting the BT keyboard to work with the N900, an old friend's faint voice (UK accent) greeted me from one of the drawers. Quickly I took the batteries out of a flashlight and...

Excellent Billy! The guys on the other thread are actually trying to figure out a solution in the meantime so subscribe to that thread as well if you want to keep up to date.

I still like my little Irxon minikeyboard ... it works with my pair of 770 tablets just beautifully.

I use this one and it's been awesome. :D


Are you saying you have it successfully working with the N900?
I have had that keyboard for years with my ol' Treo 700p, and just picked up the N900 last week. I have been trying to get that keyboard to work with no luck. It pairs fine, but I don't seem to get any actual interaction. If you have it working, could you point how how you set it up?
Thanks!

Does anyone have this keyboard by any chance? The description says it's SPP, but one of the comments describes it as a HID keyboard (and working fine with a SmartQ 7), so I'm wondering what it really supports.

I think (looks same) I have the same one bought from TigerDirect few months ago. After I type the pairing key on the keyboard, the phone indicates it has paired but nothing shows up when I type. Did you have to do anything special other than pair with n900?
